What is Luxury Buyers’ Agent France?
Luxury Buyers’ Agent France is an international property finder, offering bespoke search consultancy and services dedicated only to you. Sourcing real estate for you and you alone. Luxury Buyers’ Agent France do not offer or advertise properties for sale or rent, ensuring an impartial service tailored specifically for each individual clients’ needs and requirements. A single, exclusive point of contact to streamline and simplify the process of purchasing abroad.
What does the service entail?
An initial (and free), exploratory conversation is essential to discover and understand the buyer’s property requirements. This may simply be an exercise in validation, but it can also be advisory, if the idea of purchasing an international property, is just that at this stage – an idea. There are plenty of factors to consider such as the climate, ease of access internationally and not to mention the budget. Once the parameters have been established, property searches and shortlisting suitable properties can begin in earnest. Time and geographic location are typically limiting factors and, as such, arranging and attending viewings on behalf of the Buyer are standard. If needed, virtual viewings and/or videos with follow up conversations are also recommended. This should establish a pre-approved shortlist of properties that your physical viewing trip will entail. Helping with the orgainisation and planning of this trip can also be arranged if desired. Luxury Buyers’ Agent France will attend these viewings, accompanying the Buyer to advise and assist where necessary. Luxury Buyers’ Agent France will negotiate on behalf of the Buyer with vendors and their agents. Support will be provided at all times to the Buyer through the purchase process, including liaison with notaries, agents and any other services required. After-sales support is also provided leveraging our extensive network of professionals.
Which regions do you operate in?
This is one of the major benefits of working with Luxury Buyers’ Agent France – there is no geographic limitation on the areas served. This is because of the business model not requesting any of the selling agent’s commission. Therefore, the entire market in France is accessible to clients that engage Luxury Buyers’ Agent France services. If desired and requested, we can also help with international real estate searches and services that are outside of France.
What are the fees?
We recognise that each buyers’ needs are unique and therefore, the associated costs need to reflect this and meet the specific, bespoke requirements. This will be structured according to the situation and complexity of the search. This can involve an initial non-refundable retainer, a daily rate, payments split between transaction stages, or a hybrid of any or all of these options. The initial, free consultation conversation will discuss this in detail in a fully open and flexible manner. Ultimately, Luxury Buyers’ Agent France offer a simplification service and consequently, this will not be complex.
Is there a minimum property price that you specialise in?
There is no minimum property price that Luxury Buyers’ Agent France is willing to work on, we are willing to discuss any and all of your options.
How long does a typical transaction take?
From the point of making a formal offer on a property, the process will normally take between 2 to 3 months. It is not essential for the buyer to be present if it is not possible and power of attorney is commonly used in such situations and easily set up by notaries. The search itself will obviously take longer and a 6 to 12 month period from the initial consultation to completion is recommended to manage expectations.
How do you communicate with clients?
This will depend on the clients’ international location, as Luxury Buyers’ Agent France is based in France. However, all mediums are used and we can be available at any time to meet your needs. Feel free to contact us in the manner that is most convenient and comfortable for you.
Do you provide any other services?
Once the transaction has been finalised and you have the keys, there will be areas that require further help and guidance. Luxury Buyers’ Agent France has an extensive network of professionals that will be able to help with any of your requirements.
